Are you crippled? Can you understand the pain of not being able to do anything, of bills piling up while you pray you can float until your next check comes in? of needing friends and family to help you shop for groceries, to take you to every doctor's appointment? the pain of going from an adult who is reliant upon no one but themselves to someone who can barely function on a day to day basis with out someone's help?

I do understand. A close friend of ours is a quadriplegic after a car accident. She has trouble taking care of her kids and relies on her parents to help her. But she has kept a positive attitude and kept trying to make her life the best she can.
